Orientation
The Hurricane™ Haze 2D may be mounted in any position provided there is
adequate room for ventilation around it.

Be sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting this product can
support its weight. Please see the “Technical Specifications” section of this manual
for weight information.
Make sure to mount the product securely to a rigging point, whether an elevated
platform or a truss.
When rigging this product onto a truss, you should use a mounting clamp of
appropriate weight capacity. The bracket has a 13 mm hole, which is appropriate for
this purpose.

power linking cable and mount the products close enough for the cable to reach
them.
The bracket knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the product to the
desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs using your bare hands. Using
tools could damage the knobs.
